O Greeks, learn forever that the weapons of justice are unconquerable, and that Ottomans will flee from the armed Greeks..the Greeks are neither savage nor of worthless spirit, as are their enemies...The hour has approached, O Greeks, for the liberation of our motherland!" (doc 6) This pamphlet was published in Italy, since italy was not imperialistic, they had nothing against the ottoman Empire, although they were very nationalsitic. For that reason, the Italian people think it is fair and right for the greeks to gain freedom. They believe that no country should have to be ruled by anyone but themselves, as a result, they support the Greeks in every way gaining the right of freedom. Percy Bysshe Shelley, and English poet, wrote is a preface to his poem "Hellas" (Greece), in 1821, "Greece; and the wise and generous policy of England would consist in establishing the independence of Greece, and it maintaining it against both Russia and the Turks" (doc 7) This statement is incredibly biased. England, during this time, was in a competition against both Russia and the Turks. They were all (especially England) imperialistic countries, up against each other to conquer the majority of Europe. That would make this statement biased as the person writing it is English, they want to Greece to gain independence for the pure selfish reason so their own country can be in "higher power" compared to the Ottoman Empire.

Through the 1500th to the 19th century, the Ottoman Empire and Italy colonized Libya to reap the economic benefits offered by the colony. The market and goods appealed to Italian colonizers because of their long standing commercial interests in Libya, “The Facists figured that in Cyrenaica alone, ten million sheep would provide the best wool for Italy’s factories; twenty million olive trees, the purest oil; and an unlimited number of vines, the tastiest grapes and wine in the world”. The Saharan…

we mostly encounter and hear about the history of the Ottoman Empire and how it came about and how it ended. “THE OTTOMAN EMPIRE ended on a particular day, but the beginnings are shrouded in myth,” said Finkel.[ ] We ask ourselves who, where, when, why, and how the empire was established and its importance? Well, we can look back in history and recite what exactly happened, why it happened and how it happened.
The history of the Ottoman Empire goes back to the history of the first Sultan, who was…

The Ottoman empire; one of the greatest empires in history. The Empire, at its height, ruled most of the land around the Mediterranean. It contributed much to culture, science, religion, war, politics, and the world. Its monumental fall will be known throughout history. How can the swift decline of the Ottoman power be explained? Perhaps the best way to understand how important this event was, there needs to be a brief explanation of the history…

After the end of World War I in 1918, a huge sea change in the geopolitical landscape happened. With what seemed like one fell swoop, the “Age of Empire” was swept away as the German Empire, Tsarist Russia, the Austro-Hungarian Empire and the Ottoman Empire disintegrated. For some it seems that the decline of the Ottoman Empire was the most expected of all of them, having been characterized as “The Sick Man of Europe” for centuries after its near-domination of the Middle East and large parts of Europe…

To be a part of the Ottoman Empire ruling class, three characteristics were necessary: “Islamic faith, loyalty to the sultan, and compliance with the standards of behavior of the Ottoman court.” This only applied to Muslim people while Turks, Greeks, Armenians, and Jews—recognized as the millets—were excluded and usually employed in state services. As the Ottoman Empire developed and its strength grew, it was looked upon as “a daily increasing flame” for its ability to rule and take control, but…

The reason the Jews went to the Ottoman Empire was because the Christians persecuted them because of their different beliefs. The Jews were so scared of what the Christians might do they wanted to settle in a safer place which the Ottomans offered them. The Ottomans offering them land was the best thing the Jews could have asked for. The Ottomans offered the Jews protection, offered them communal autonomy and tolerated their religious practices.
The Ottomans at the time had a rule about non-Muslims…
